make it come alive

I have the same trouble with water temp in the the summer. When pit power on three the pdi stage 1 turbo does a great job egt 900-950. I have not went over setting 3, as far as water temp goes I am going to change temp stat to 180 degress and see what that does. I also ran a 5 row and now a 6 does same thing ( 900L)

 

If your heat rejection is bigger than your cooling system can handle you need to upsize your cooling system. The thermostat won't make a difference. All the way open is all the way open, if you're overheating, you will still overheat with a 180, you will just have crappy heat and fuel economy in the winter.

A PDI program is much better than a PP box. The PP box ####### injection timing and causes heat. You can get the same power level with a PDI program and not build as much heat.

How much power do you want? The PDI stage 1 package isn't quite as much power as the box on max setting. The best combination of parts in my opinion is a stage 1 ECM with a cam and a extrude honed manifold with a turbo to match. This will give you the best power and fuel mileage.

You can also use a CAT file in the ECM to build power. I can do this for you if you're interested. With a CAT file and the correct numbers in the ECM you will be 700Hp+ at the flywheel with a stock engine.

I'm also a PDI dealer if you're interested in any of their products.

 

Upgrade to a better suited truck. May a suggest a T800W.

 

Do you know how many degrees PDI advances timing at Stage 1? Just curious.

 

No, they will not give anybody this spec. I can tell you it's enough to make the engine rattle similar to the B's at idle. I know the change CAT made to comply with the LOW NOX requirements was to ###### timing 4.5* I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't adding another 3-4* above this. Also all of the PDI programs have the same timing changes regardless of the power increase.
